Where do you get them….particularly the giant drunken baby one?
The badges will probably go on sale later. Stay tuned.
Does the power fox badge say sad or bad - either way that badge sums it up! Will wear it with ….resignation
Want!
Please tell me these are real …
I’ll buy all of them! Twice!
Is there a Franklin Mint set in a velvet-lined box, with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Thank God for Bandicoots R Us.
It’s hard to imagine a more depressing election.
Oh I want those badges. Pleeeease. A whole set. Two sets!
One to wear and one for posterity. The only one that might cause a bit of discomfort is the Tony Abbott’s penis one - won’t wear that when i go to see Mum.
Onya First Dog. Crikey is the only thing that will get me through this election.
I know Abbott has “changed” (for the election at least) - but this member and those dates?
The badges are fine and funny. But to me they open a larger question. Why would I wish to be seen as even having thought about these mediocrities?
Why would I want to go down as having had anything to do with what will go down in our political annals as the absolute and the comprehensively awful farce of “The Winter of our Discontent with Preferential Voting” I don’t want to give any of these bastards my prefs.
Australia:- We are standing in it.
I forgot to add 2010 AD as being the most calamitous general election in Oz history.
Sorry - that’s the “member of Warringah (and those dates)”, of course.
I think these badges will give me the only laugh that is gettable out of the upcoming election. Sigh. Who was it that said we get the politicians we deserve? We must have been soooooo bad.
First Dog, I suspect you currently have a huge overstock of ‘Julia, the People’s Princess’ t-shirts. You have nil chance of shifting them now.
Perhaps donate the lot to the RSPCA for use as kennel bedding (seriously, they’re always in need, especially in winter).
I’m surprised to see Jesus still on the electoral roll. I thought he was dead, buried, crucified.
I bet I know who the giant drunken baby votes for. I’m sure I’ve seen her in the Q&A audience with the other Young Libs loudly applauding their own questions or braying at some ‘bon mot’ from Piers.
Jenny Mc, since FDotM is as close as I want to get to the election (nodding agreement with Venise), does this suggest that the Chaser too, have become persona non humoresque ?
Zut, would another solution to FD’s “People’s Princess” T-shirt glut be to overprint the PowerFox with the Unicorn boy ?
The FD Official Cartoonist badge is ambiguous—does it read that the Official Cartoonist to The Honourable Julia Eileen Gillard is by self appointment the Officially Official Prime Minister of Australia? Go on FD you know you really want to.
I really *really* want this election to be over.
So we can all settle down in front of the TV, with a guava and custard apple snow egg
and watch the gripping final of “Jazz Paws”.
I hope the “Tony Abbot’s Penis’ badge is embossed.
And that baby is Laurie Oakes, right?
Dunno, Paddy. LA’s on the club couch. And ABC24 goes 24/7.
I want two of those badges…gimme the one at the middle top..sigh!!!…and gimme the one with the big drunken baby…i like that big drunken baby.
HOLDEN BACK I like the idea of the embossed Tony Abbott Penis badge; could be significantly interactive. Maybe make them 3D—Jesus parting the waters etc
me want three sets
mandate *smirk*
@ Rosemary Milburn - yep a Roy & HG-ism and the name of a gay porn magazine. Works for me!
Sometimes it’s best to be a little reluctant to let people know about the breadth of one’s mind, Holden
I want the Jesus one please. I belong to God’s Own Party. (God, of course, is Bob Brown.)
And the rest to distribute to my family. I’m hoping Mum will cut TA’s P in half - better order two sets.
8 - one for every day of the week and one spare. Will it be a breach of the APS Values or Code of Conduct for me to wear a different one to work each day?
@Mike, I yield to none in the catholicity of taste and voracity of cultural appetites.
Holden, this makes curiouser the “Back”, but I know you to be disguised man of character, so I guess I need to avoid confusing restraint for a deficiency in catholicity and voracityness.
@ Mike Jones. Quite. To a nicety, even.
Interpretrative I heard this week.
I am going back rehab if this -icityand -at added to everything keep drumming on my head when I read something or listen into the wireless. Even hearing moving vision when I attend at the living room to see the television.
It’s not for the little people. It’s sadnesses for the proletariatistic part of me that’s all of me.
Coming from me that’s rich and wise, I know.
:what about the people:
